FLUFF, Huge, 'Naughty' Sticks🥢& Egg-citing Friday Night Date: Nibbles & Jackie's Long Pancaking!❤️

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

What an eventful day! There is some nice FLUFF in the nest! 🎉 There are also two huge sticks. Finally, there is a lovely Friday night date at the end of the day with Jackie pancaking for a long time and Shadow nibbling her head! Sooo cute! ❤ We are on egg watch and the day of Jackie laying eggs is clearly approaching! How egg-citing! Are you egg-cited? 😁😍

[@lauraeastman]

[@lauraeastman]

Those big sticks are like bumper guards for the children so they don't fall out of the bed...☺️😍💕💕💕💕💕

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@lauraeastman Indeed! ❤️❤️😍

[@SaturnaliaJones]

So glad to see some fluff in there! Better insulation than just sticks. Good job Jackie and Shadow!

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@SaturnaliaJones ❤️❤️🦅🦅🥰

[@lauraeastman]

Wow! They are super serious about the fluff today! It must be only days away!😍 And the Raven keeps showing up like he knows eggs are coming!😮

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@lauraeastman Yes, Ravens keep showing and do not want to let go.

[@janicesbickford5762]

This is so exciting waiting for Jackie to lay her eggs & praying for them to hatch each year, i have been watching this couple for years now. I use to live in Big Bear Ca i loved it up there its so beautiful. We will all be watching and counting the days till hopefully the eggs hatch this year, we felt so bad for them last year when their eggs didn't hatch, i feel this year will be a good one for Jackie & Shadow. Thank you all for the videos great work. God Bless Everyone

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

[@JasonHaymaker]

This is very Egg~citing! Thanks for the video updates, the commentary is great!

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@JasonHaymaker Yes, it is egg-citing indeed! I'm glad that you like my video updates and the commentary. Have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️🦅🦅😍

[@sandiebourassa9040]

I worry when the wind is so strong.💜

[@maryjobusse8348]

lol- I love your captions! But how do you tell them apart?

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@maryjobusse8348 Thanks a lot! I'm glad that you like my captions. It is not easy to tell them apart. Jackie is larger and has a thicker beak.

[@lorij6445]

Finally some fluff. I don’t know why I get so stressed about that.

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@lorij6445 🎉❤️❤️

[@lovesanimals-m7h]

So cold for eggs. I hope the parents stay put.

[@justdi3347]

Fun video, just love the captions, I always laugh out loud. Now these two need to learn about the meaning of “fluff” from Beau at NEFL nest…I think he does yard work for the neighbors. Thanks for the video, looking forward to this season. I have yet to see these two beauties have viable eggs because I started in February going on 3 years. Hopeful for sure❤

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@justdi3347 Thank you very much for such a great comment. I'm really glad that you like my captions. Jackie and Shadow usually do not have plenty of fluff, but I think they will bring some more soon. Have a wonderful day! ❤️🦅🦅😍❤️

[@marilynmarilyn747]

I actually think that there’s a reason Jackie brings sticks that are too big. Do you guys remember the story about her being in a nest that fell? Her parents had to rebuild it, I think she fell in a nest as a youth eagle like she hadn’t left the nest yet, but she was quite big when it happened. I think she has PTSD over the nest being sturdy❤😌😊

[@MardyR925]

Why was I hearing violins and the song, “I’m in the mood for love”? It must be getting closer. Egg Day is upon us!

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@MardyR925 Love is definitely in the air and we are getting closer to egg laying. It's egg-citing. Thanks a lot for your nice comment! Have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️🦅🦅❤️😍

[@richardf.terpeningjr.3988]

First time hearing Jackie breathing aloud.

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@richardf.terpeningjr.3988 ❤️

[@margaretmaljevac3592]

Sure hope they have babies this time....watching from BC

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@margaretmaljevac3592 Fingers crossed for their success! 😍🦅🦅❤️

[@kimlindsey5178]

Those Santa Ana winds are horrible!!! I live in No. CA and, thankfully, we don’t get those strong winds

[@Laura-f2s9w]

I have noticed Jackie panting really heavy lately. Is the microphone closer to them? Just curious ❤️🦅❤️🦅

[@SpaceGhost1981]

They haven’t moved camera but Jackie is breathing much heavier due to carrying an egg and being pregnant. The panting helps cool her down as I’m sure you very well know but she probably has more than one egg inside waiting to come out I’m sure the heavy breathing helps with cramping or how women deal with cramping or pregnancy. Breathing rates change. Hope that helps 😊

@CharluvsJESUS ❤️❤️❤️

[@SpaceGhost1981]

Jackie is in the home stretch! Get your tea cozies ready cuz we are going to be hearing some whistling SOON!

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@SpaceGhost1981 Indeed! It's so egg-citing! Thanks a lot for your great comment! Have a woderful day! 😍❤️🦅🦅🥰

[@IdLikeToBuyaVowel]

Thanks for the “bonus bird” lol

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@IdLikeToBuyaVowel I'm glad that you like the bonus bird. 😁😍

[@kathrynnard8059]

Is the fluff a sign of eggs to come? Watch the sticks Jackie. Don't get it in your eye again.

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@kathrynnard8059 Yes, it is. Jackie and Shadow bring fluff in just before and after eggs are laid, keeping it from getting wet and freezing. Yes, Jackie has to be careful with these sticks. Thanks a lot for your nice comment! Have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️🥰🦅🦅😍

[@renatasebkova9781]

I'm watching Jackie and Shadow from Prague. I'm looking forward to the baby eagles!! Jackie and Shadow are beautiful! 🦅🦅

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@renatasebkova9781 Thanks a lot for watching and for your nice comment! Have a great day! ❤️🦅🦅😍

[@kawaaisa383]

What an egg-citing this video is! BirdlifeOdyssey 🥰😆 Coming the time, the nest completes. ❤ All is up to Jackie and Shadow. 🦅🦅

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@kawaaisa383 Thank you very much for your lovely comment! I'm glad that you find it egg-citing, too. Have a wonderful day! ❤️❤️❤️😍🦅🦅🥰

[@JJacks920]

How strong is the wind? Looks really windy. Any smoke out that way?

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@JJacks920 Santa Ana wind was really strong but it is over now. Luckily, Big Bear Valley is far from the fire & is safe at the moment.

[@annwilliams1073]

So much adversity for these two, very strong California bbv bald eagles,wind,rain,sleet ,snow & fire potential. I pray for them, they are very special & if they only knew, SO LOVED❤🦅🦅

[@annwilliams1073]

We really need much more fluff otherwise the nest is looking pretty good

[@annwilliams1073]

They deserve so much ...hoping all goes well for the.

[@annwilliams1073]

We are fortunate to be able to view the roost tree. Thank u cam operators

[@njxx1a]

Can someone explain how the nest stays so together, especially during windy days and nights?

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@njxx1a The nest is well built, kept together by the sticks Jackie and Shadow keep bringing and arranging again and again. It is a well-made and resistant construction.

[@sharonperry5213]

🥰🤗🩵👀❄️🙏

[@BirdlifeOdyssey]

@sharonperry5213 ❤️😍🦅🦅🥰

[@njxx1a]

It would be impossible to lay eggs in this kind of wind.. ..
